Five poisons refer to centipedes, poisonous snakes, scorpions, geckos and toads. These five poisonous animals are collectively called five poisons. In some areas in the north, there is a folk custom that the five poisons begin to grow at noon every year, so there is a custom of avoiding the five poisons. Generally, the five poisons are pasted at home, embroidered on clothes and decorated on cakes, all of which mean expulsion.
Because centipedes have many pairs of feet, centipedes represent abundance. Many people will carve centipedes on jade alone. Wearing such jade symbolizes one's wealth and is also a good wish of one's own, so carving centipedes on decorations has become more popular. But centipedes are poisonous animals after all, so many people don't like them.
Feng shui viewpoint:
Centipede is commonly known as money first, and it is not easy for people to see centipede. Therefore, if the centipede enters this family voluntarily, it can be celebrated well, because it shows that this family has signs of making a fortune, and such good luck will not keep everyone waiting for too long.
There is a saying that if centipedes appear at home, it means that the wealth at home will get better. But the centipede is different when it appears on the bed, which shows that the feng shui of this bed is not good. This implies that the owner of this bed may encounter some accidents or troubles and need special attention.
